- A projectile is projected from the origin with a velocity of 35m/s at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizontal. What is the range of the projectile? (Answer in Meter)arrow_forwardA baseball with mass of 0.14 kg is batted into the air. It's initial speed is 38.1 m/s directed at an angle 26 degrees above the horizontal. Of the height of the ball when it was struck by the bat is 35 cm how high off the ground is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?arrow_forwardDuring a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 28.3 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.57 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s². (a) Number (b) Number Units Unitsarrow_forward
- A baseball reaches Peter with a velocity of 41.6 m/s at -5.00 degrees from the horizontal. Peter strikes the ball, and it leaves the bat with a velocity of 45.1 m/s at 153 degrees. What is the ball's change in velocity?arrow_forwardConsider a projectile being launched with an initial speed of 43 m/s at a variety of initial angles. Refer to the figure. What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ1 = 79.7°? What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ2 = 40.5°? What is the range, in meters, of the projectile if it is launched at an angle of θ3 = 90 − 79.7°, the complement of θ1?arrow_forwardThe height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m and the distance between the hoop and the free throw line is 4.57 m. If a 1.90 m tall person shoots the ball from the free throw line at an angle of 54.0° with respect to the horizontal, at what speed should the ball leave his hands?arrow_forward
